I think it will depend a lot on how B-Hop handles the fight as well... If he proves he's still a warrior and takes this fight right up to Joe, then I think at least in the short term Calzaghe will get quite a bit of credit for beating him.. If Hopkins looks slow, or sloppy, or tired, or anything else that isn't the usual Hopkins, it's going to lower any credit Joe gets for beating him..

Either way if he loses though, it'll be a major upset for Joe that he really doesn't need towards the end of his career when he should be going out with a real bang! He's still got a LOT to offer in the ring, and losing this fight just would be a real shame
